"But here I am, I have cancer and I'm 32 and all I know is I want to live and to raise [my children] and send them to college and watch them get married and to watch them have babies. I can't wait for that.

"In regards to this whole cancer thing, I say, 'bring it'."

Waller -- who is a single mother to Landyn, 8, and Harper Jeanne, 3 -- revealed she had been suffering from weight loss and abdominal discomfort but almost dismissed her symptoms as the effects of living a busy life.

Despite her young age she was given a colonoscopy and woke four hours later only to be told that she had cancer.

"When I woke up [the doctor] told me I had a large tumour," she said.

"It was a shock because I can't have cancer. I'm a nurse. I take care of people. I tell people you have cancer. I treat you. I can't have cancer. Yet here I am, saying the words that make me so nauseas."

Waller's video has been viewed more than 25,000 times, and her co-workers started a GoFundMe to help her cover any lost wages during her time off for treatment.

"You think about things you never want to think about," she admitted in the video.

"Who will take care of my children? What will I do? Can I afford treatments? Can I afford being off from work? I mean it's crazy. I wanted to make this video to make people aware of it because I think there are a lot of feelings that come with it that you can't necessarily stomach."
